From the over-the-top-lavish lives of the royals at Versailles to portraits of revolutionary leaders to triumphant images of Napoleon, examine artwork from this period of tremendous political upheaval in France. With works by French masters including Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun, Jacques-Louis David, and Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, consider the role of paintings in the struggle for power in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Led by art historian Jane Oneail, founder of Culturally Curious, a company that curates and delivers art appreciation programs for audiences worldwide. With a Master’s in Art History from Boston University and a Master’s in Education from Harvard University, Oneail has worked at some of New Hampshire's most esteemed cultural institutions, including as Executive Director of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and Senior Educator at the Currier Museum of Art. She has also taught at the college level for over a decade, most recently at Southern New Hampshire University.
